Previously unseen footage of Michael Jackson’s 1993 Dangerous tour, which had been expected to fetch $6.2-7.8 million failed to sell at auction in Britain.
“At this stage it has not sold,” said a spokesman for The Fame Bureau auctioneers, who specialise in pop memorabilia. “We are still talking to people, but online it did not sell.”
The auction house said it had been forced to remove a brief clip of the video from its website before the online auction after Jackson’s record label made a ‘copyright claim’.
The fact that a successful buyer may not be able to use the film for commercial purposes may have dampened demand given the hefty asking price.
Nearly two hours long, the footage was shot by Jackson’s own production crew and was meant to be an intimate portrait of him on tour. But the singer was unhappy with it and gave the only copy to his driver, who was now trying to sell it, the auction house said.
